Offset, Cardi B pay tribute to Migos rapper Takeoff killed in shooting

• Migos member Takeoff was shot and killed in Texas on Tuesday.
• The investigation into the rapper's death is ongoing, while police say they have "no reason to believe" that Takeoff "was involved in anything criminal".
• Migos' Offset has since paid tribute to the star, while Cardi B's shared a poignant clip featuring the rapper.

Offset, one-third of Migos, has paid tribute to group member Takeoff after he was shot and killed at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas on Tuesday.

The rapper changed his Instagram profile to a smiling photo of Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, complete with a white heart.

Offset hasn't provided further comments following the death. Cardi B, however, who is married to and shares two children with the rapper, retweeted a clip of the star in which he says: "My best gift from my brothers is my brothers.

"None of us would be here without each other. We've held each other up through hard times, through good times. We're with each other. We're all we got. I don't know nothing else."

Takeoff agrees in the Complex clip, before sharing his "best gift": a ring on his finger with a photo of himself and his mom. Complex captioned the clip on 1 November: "Family forever."

Takeoff was the youngest member of Migos at 28. Quavo was his uncle, and Offset his cousin.

Police are currently investigating the fatal shooting.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner told journalists at least two firearms were involved in the shooting, adding that they have "no reason to believe" that Takeoff "was involved in anything criminal" or that he was directly targeted.

"Based on what people say about him, he's well-respected, non-violent - I would not expect him to be involved."
